Shocking 2016 Video of Sean "Diddy" Combs Assaulting Cassie Ventura Released: Legal Game-Changer

In a stunning development, a 2016 surveillance video has surfaced, showing Sean "Diddy" Combs physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a Los Angeles hotel hallway. The footage, obtained by CNN and federal investigators, corroborates Cassie’s shocking claims from her lawsuit against the music mogul, providing irrefutable evidence of the abuse.

What the Video Reveals (Second-by-Second)

Location: InterContinental Hotel, Los Angeles
Date: March 5, 2016

• Cassie Flees: The video shows Cassie visibly distressed as she runs down the hotel hallway, trying to escape.

• Diddy Chases: Wearing only a towel, Diddy grabs her by the neck, slams her to the ground, and kicks her as she struggles.

• Dragged Back: Diddy then yanks Cassie up by her hoodie and forcibly pulls her toward a hotel room, continuing the assault.

• Hotel Staff Ignored the Incident: Disturbingly, several hotel employees walk by, failing to intervene or call for help during the violent altercation.

Key Detail: The footage matches Cassie’s previous claims from her lawsuit, where she alleged she was beaten "so severely she required hospitalization." This video serves as a pivotal piece of evidence in both her civil case and the ongoing federal investigations into Diddy’s alleged misconduct.

How This Affects the Legal Case

Proof of Pattern:

• This video destroys Diddy’s defense, which had portrayed his relationship with Cassie as mutually consensual. It provides undeniable proof of violent behavior.

• The footage also supports the claims of other accusers who have come forward with allegations of physical abuse at Diddy’s hands.

Federal Evidence:

• The video has been added to a growing federal case involving Diddy, which includes charges of sex trafficking and coercion. The graphic nature of the footage may now result in additional charges, such as felony assault and false imprisonment.

Civil Fallout:

• Cassie’s settled lawsuit with Diddy may be reopened, especially if it’s proven that Diddy intentionally hid the existence of this video, raising questions about the validity of the settlement.

• The hotel could also face legal consequences for failing to report the assault to the police, despite the clear signs of violence.

Celebrity Reactions & Fallout

• 50 Cent: The rapper, who has long been outspoken about Diddy’s alleged behavior, posted the video with the caption, “I told y’all this was coming,” amplifying the scandal.

• Aubrey O’Day: The former Danity Kane member tweeted, “This is why we’ve been screaming for years. More tapes exist,” hinting at more footage being out there that could reveal further abuse.

• Kim Porter’s Family: Sources close to the late Kim Porter, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, have expressed heartbreak upon viewing the footage and are now reviewing old security footage from Diddy’s properties to investigate further.

What’s Still Hidden?

• Full 24-Hour Footage: Sources claim that the released clip is only a part of a larger 24-hour surveillance recording, with more footage showing potential violence before and after this incident.

• Other Locations: Cassie’s lawsuit also mentions abuse occurring in Miami, New York City, and on private jets. Were these incidents also recorded?

• Who Helped Cover It Up? The hotel, where the assault took place, never reported the incident to the police, raising questions about who may have helped cover it up.

The Bottom Line

This is no longer just a matter of "bad press" for Sean “Diddy” Combs—it’s concrete, irrefutable evidence of criminal abuse. With federal investigators already looking into Diddy for sex trafficking, this newly released footage could be the final nail in the coffin for his career and freedom.

As more details continue to emerge, it’s clear that Diddy’s time in the public eye is on the brink of collapse. With the evidence stacking up, the legal battles ahead promise to be some of the most high-profile in recent celebrity history.
